Genoa, Nev. — Nevada State Police are investigating a fatal vehicle rollover that occurred around 5 a.m. today at Interstate 580 and the College Parkway offramp involving a green F-150 pickup. Authorities say speed might have been a factor, and that the driver wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.
Congratulations to Brendan Riley, who was named on Thursday to the Genoa Town Board. Riley’s been a long-time resident of Nevada’s oldest town and for a good portion of that was the Associated Press’ main capital correspondent.
